One of the more immersion breaking aspects of the game to me, is how everything has silly names. Please add a settings option to disable the backer names (which I hope these are).

HOTFIX - v. Danforth 1.5.1 - 04/08/2020

Fixed an issue where soldiers weren’t generated with Backer Names. Added an Option to turn this ON or OFF in the Gameplay section of the Options screen.

Just change the names to whatever you want them to be...

I have a dire suspicion there is no other name generator. Also devs might be bound by various interpretations of meaningless concepts of 'respect' and 'honour'....'RESPECT' AND 'HONOUR'! And we lack the tactical supremacy ....SUPREMACY!....to request this.

As it stands the format limits itself to old world names...DELUSIONAL BASELINE HUMAN NAMES!... and military callsigns, which is so not how Anu and the Pure...PURE! PURE!...roll.

Agreed. Whilst I love and respect the kudos to the people that made this game possible with their donations, and frankly would prefer the developers focus on the core gameplay before cosmetic changes since these could be worked on via the mod community a la XCOM (a character pool, bios, and more diversity in appearance/sound for example), many of the potential recruits have silly names that go against the thematic presentation of the game.

Lunazathoth: Mm, and his platoon of hot pink and purple digital camouflage drone pilots with domo key chains tied to the UAVs that dab after every confirmed kill?
